Nice write-up!

I am intrigued now. I think I will give it a try!

Ann R H, I was talking about perceived bad guys redeeming themselves. Ned Stark is a more complex character than at first glance, but still a "good guy", taking heat for something he didn't do, and Tyrion was an outcast who always was disgusted by his family's behavior, but torn by loyalty. GOT is wonderfully written/acted. There are shows even from the 70s where the "bad guy" is actually good (The Rockford Files), but I can't think of one US show where the villain is sorry for his crime.

I think all of these are based on Asian culture and norms, so I try to see it as a different way (not that I would do that/want that to happen to me!). As for the turnaround of "bad guys" and the willingness of others to forgive them, I actually enjoy that. It makes the character more real, and much better than the all bad/all good characters in US shows.

Thank you for the background - very helpful!

Great article!

Love the concept! You have great ideas.

LOL!

I started watching this show based on your article and IT IS AWESOME! I love the character development of the two leads and how he actually admires her naivete. Thank you!

I watched My Secret Romance and ....yup! Steamy scenes, then ridiculous plot. Fun times!

This show is everything you said and more - love it!

Love this show. The two leads are adorable.

I love SSH too. Gorgeous and a good actor. Only show I couldn't stand was When a Man's in Love, because of the lead female, not him.

I love the "cat and mouse"/back and forth between the two leads. He thinks he's got the best of her, but she's just as smart as him and puts him in his place. And then SHE'S got the best of him...cute romance. As for the psychology....it's a drama.

Anything with chocolate or caramel is great! I love Twix bars, but Pocky sticks are good too! My kids love lychee fruit hard candies.

I agree. Tae-Won is a very interesting character and not one you often see in Kdramas: innocent, shy, tortured soul, but also intelligent. Hye-Mi grew s little as she became nicer, but I think it's a character not far from the real actor's personality. Cute, sweet drama.

TvN, are you listening? We want MORE of this show, not LESS!! So sad they cut this one down. I love that TvN shows tend to be quirky. And I now have a new bias, Byun Yo Han. Such a cutie!

I've watched the first and third, and also loved them, so I am off to watch The Secret Reunion! Thanks for the recommendation!
